			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever left your eyeglasses at a restaurant or forgotten to grab your  book when leaving the coffee shop? Most of us have left something behind in a  hotel room or on a plane at some point in our lives. These items don&#8217;t have to  become lost forever if they are marked in some way with your name, address and  phone number. You can use stamps as a way to help keep track of things and give  people a way to get them back to you if found.</p>
<p>Every day countless people  leave retainers somewhere or lose an expensive pair of sunglasses. The good news  is that the simple stamp can help prevent this from happening. If items are  marked, whoever finds them can get in touch to return them. This can save you  money and help give you peace of mind.</p>
<p>Mark your items directly with ink  stamps, or use a label on the item that you can stamp the information on and  then stick to the container. This works well for everything from makeup and  jewelry cases to business folders. When you get into the habit of marking your  things, it becomes second nature. You can even get kids into the habit of doing  this with their school things. Books, lunch boxes and notebooks are all examples  of things you can mark with a stamp.</p>
<p>Rubber stamps can also be a great  way to keep track of your personal library. Just stamp the inside cover and it  will help insure that the book will find its way back to you when loaned out. It  takes only a few seconds, but it can help remind someone that it is yours if  they borrow the book from you. This can work well for movies, tools and other  items as well.</p>
<p>Make sure that you choose a font that is clear and easy to  read when designing the stamps. You will want to make sure that anyone who finds  the item can decipher your information without trouble and get in touch. You&#8217;ll  also want to choose a color and decide if you would like more than one  stamp.</p>
<p>Naturally, stamps serve a dual purpose, as they can also be used  for mailing correspondence. This makes them a good investment all the way  around. VistaPrint offers inexpensive stamps that you can customize to suit your  taste. You can order one for every family member if you like, and use them for  many different things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Return address stamps are a practical item to invest in, but they can also  provide a personalized touch to your mailing correspondence. You don’t have to  rely on the straightforward format of name, address, city, state and zip code;  you can add to the design format as well. The best part is that return address  stamps can show a little bit of your personality in addition to communicating  the facts.</p>
<p>Since return address stamps are inexpensive, you can order  more than one and have them reflect the various things that you like. If you are  into flowers or animals, why not add one to the stamp for some extra style. If  you like the classy feel of a monogram or simple graphic, these are other  options you may want to consider. Think about what you might like and design a  stamp of your own.</p>
<p>Another idea is to order return address stamps  that reflect various holidays throughout the year. Try things such as hearts for  Valentine’s Day, ornaments for Christmas and bunnies for Easter. You can  customize the stamp to reflect any holiday or event you like. You may want to  order a stamp for each of the four seasons or get one for each month of the  year.</p>
<p>New brides may want to invest in custom stamps for their  mailing correspondence as a couple. This type of stamp can be fun to design, and  it will make things easier when it comes to sending out bills and getting those  last few thank you notes finished. If you put your order in before the  honeymoon, the stamp will be ready for you when you get back. Add a personal  touch to it by including something in the design that symbolizes you as a  couple. You may want to use your wedding date or a graphic that has meaning to  you both. Browse the VistaPrint Website for ideas.</p>
<p>If you want, you can  create address stamps for family members and give out as holiday gifts or  birthday presents. They can also make a great small gift for a best  friend&#8211;especially if you know what they like. Design one for your college-bound  teen to encourage them to keep in touch. You can tuck it in their luggage before  they go away to school.</p>
<p>Take a look at all of the templates and  designs we have at VistaPrint. Indulge yourself by ordering some new return  address stamps. It will make getting envelopes ready to go in the mail a fun  experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are custom stamps a good idea for kids?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>Your child is one of those kids that would leave his or her head behind if it wasn&#8217;t attached. The problem is so bad that you&#8217;ve reached the point where you&#8217;re thinking about getting a wholesale license so you can buy winter hats and other gear in bulk at a reduced price. Before you give up on your child&#8217;s ability to keep his or her belongings, why not try making sure every item is clearly identified with custom stamps for kids? This way, perhaps at least some things will make it back into your child&#8217;s possession when teachers or neighbors read your child&#8217;s name on the lost belongings.</p>
<p>Custom stamps are also fun for children to use. Give your child a name stamp and you&#8217;ll never have to wonder if something belongs to him or her again. In fact, you may want to consider spelling out some guidelines before handing over the stamp to avoid problems with an overzealous stamper. Rules like, &#8220;No stamping on faces,&#8221; seem like theyd be too obvious to need to be spelled out right up to the second your child strolls into the kitchen with every inch of skin covered in his or her name stamped in black ink.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can rubber stamps help keep paperwork organized?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;re working almost constantly as you try to get all the time consuming tasks that come with running a small business done. However, even with all the hours you are putting in, your desk has been devoured by rogue paperwork, your guest chair has turned into the incoming mail file and your office could double as one of the toughest obstacle courses around. You need some help to get things under control. You&#8217;re hiring an organization consultant to whip things into shape. One of the suggestions the consultant makes is to use rubber stamps as part of your new sorting and filing routine.</p>
<p>You find quite a few great premade design options for rubber stamps that will help tame your clutter.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>A &#8220;paid&#8221; stamp can save you time and aggravation. If you stamp invoices as paid as soon as you write out the checks or post a payment online, you won&#8217;t need to spend valuable time searching through your records to make sure they are paid if a question about payment arises.</li>
<li>&#8220;Received&#8221; stamps are great for a business with employees. Having all shipping statements stamped and initialed by staff members means you can track down the person who received the shipment in seconds if you have a question.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are signature stamps a good option?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;ve got three different meetings two conference calls and four progress reports scheduled and that is just for the morning. You&#8217;re simply too busy to take time out to sign the 21 letters and memos you&#8217;ve asked your assistant to type up for you, but they have to get in the mail. It isn&#8217;t like they are binding contracts that need your signature to be notarized, but you can&#8217;t exactly give your assistant the go ahead to forge your signature. You need a solution better than your current one, which is to eat a few stale crackers with one hand as you sign away your lunch hour with the other. You mention this to your assistant and, within minutes, you are looking at options for ordering signature stamps.</p>
<p>To create a <a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/signature-stamps.aspx">signature stamp</a>, you will need to scan a copy of your signature into your computer, adjust the scanned signature so that it will be able to fit within the space on the stamp, save it as a pdf file and upload it. You may want to consider ordering the stamp with optional text, such as your name printed below the signature. If you are going to be using your new stamp heavily, you may also want to buy some extra ink pads at the same time.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can self inking stamps be used for other purposes?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;re in two huge art swaps and are creating several hundred greeting cards for resale. By the time you finish signing and identifying all of these pieces, you could have created several more pieces. As you package up your work and reach for your return address stamp, you are thinking that there has to be a better and faster way to identify your work so that you can become even more productive. Your gaze falls on the stamp and you feel like a cartoon light bulb is appearing over your head. Why not make <a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/custom-stamps.aspx">self inking stamps</a> that contain all the information you&#8217;ve been writing on the back of your handmade cards?</p>
<p>Altering address stamps for another purpose is incredibly simple. Just ignore the suggested purpose for each line and type the information you&#8217;d like it to say instead. For example, instead of typing your address, perhaps you want to have your website name appear on the address line. Instead of your city, state and zip code, you may prefer to have the third line on your stamp be a copyright notice, such as &#8220;All rights reserved.&#8221; to protect your work from theft or from being accidentally classified as an orphan work.</p></div>
